S. C. Hangover.

This is big. Like, totally hugely, bigly, gigantically enormous. Obama is going to pick up a truckload of delegates. Turnout was big, too. I'm going to try not to give into the same exuberance that I did after Iowa, but it's going to be hard. Obama was supposed to win big - needed to win big to fulfill the punditocracy's vision for him - and he did. Flabbergastingly so.

The exit polling is interesting. CNN says that he won all age groups (except 65+) for the first time in a primary. Late deciders went for him. Young voters again went for him in huge numbers. (Young whites have black friends. Real ones. Don't tell the old white people.) Whites - and these are Southern whites, mind you - made up 20% of his voters. HRC got 34% in her pie chart. But Obama is going to have way more voters, more than double in fact. His 20% is likely a bigger number of actual voters than HRC's 34%. So race was not as divisive as feared. Obama is building a coalition that can win. HRC can't say that. Obama will. Repeatedly.

And then there's this. Bill Bennett - Reagan's second-term Education Secretary, who is now a conservative pundit on CNN - said “White people all over America are interested in voting for Barack Obama.“ That's telling. And that's me.

This was a rout of epic proportions. The Clintons got hammered.

So now it's on to Super Tuesday. Feb. 5 is going to cause my biggest Hangover yet - one way or another.
